Ricky Dread – Bend Back Fi Mi

Slinky groove. Ricky Dread comes in over “Bend Back Fi Mi” with a tight, cheeky one-song drop that runs just over three minutes, and BroadYard Records keeps the arrangement lean so the vocal sits right on top of the rhythm. Released on January 16, 2026, it has that modern roots-dancehall polish BroadYard has been leaning into lately, but there’s a lighter, more playful edge here than on some of their more straight-faced productions. Dread rides the cut with enough attitude to make the hook stick without overworking it, which is exactly the kind of restraint that suits this label. In a BroadYard catalogue that’s been building out single by single, this feels like another sharp entry rather than a throwaway.
